Individual Neutral Athletes from Russia and Belarus competed at the 2025 World Games held in Chengdu, China from 7 to 17 August 2025.

Russia and Belarus are barred from taking part in the World Games due to their role in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Instead athletes from the two countries will compete as independents, provided that the individual international sports federations allow their participation.
